Soft, salty-sweet tahini chocolate chip cookies with dark chocolate chunks, crisp edges, tender centers, and flaky salt. Easy enough to make at home, but elevated enough to taste like a café treat.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • Flaky salt, for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low to medium-low for about 1 minute, until combined and slightly fluffy.
  • Add the egg, tahini, and vanilla. Mix until combined. The mixture may look slightly separated because of the tahini.
  • Add flour, baking soda, baking powder if using, and kosher salt. Mix on low only until the flour disappears. Do not overmix.
  • Add chopped dark chocolate and mix for a few seconds, or fold in by hand.
  • Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions, about the size of a ping-pong ball. Place about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • If the dough balls are very tall, gently press the tops down slightly. Do not flatten completely.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden but centers still look soft.
  • Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of flaky salt.
  • Let cookies sit on the hot baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving

Notes

  • The cookies may look slightly underdone when you pull them from the oven. That is the goal. They continue baking on the hot pan as they rest.
  • Use chopped dark chocolate instead of regular chocolate chips for a more café-style texture and flavor.
  • Store fully cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 day
